  b. 5-6

In FC (→GE), bar 5 is the last in line, and the L.H. slurs in FC do not indicate a continuation. This clearly contradicts not only the notation of A but also the musical common sense. In GE the slur in bar 5 reaches only the last crotchet, in bar 6, however, the traces of the slur having been shifted so as to suggest the continuation from the previous bar. In bars 9-12, based in GE on the script of bars 5-8 in FC (in the copy bars 9-12 are only marked as a repetition of bars 5-8), this edition has a continuous slur, confirming to a certain degree how musically obvious this slurring is. Taking this into account we only reproduce the slurs broken after bar 5 and 9 in the graphical transcription of FC ("transcript" version).
